I have only one Pet Peeve at the moment. HAVING TO GET UP FOR WORK EVERYDAY! I was not meant to work, I was meant be fat and lazy. I got the fat part covered, just need to fix the lazy problem. Newly sober 12 steppers You need to learn how to **** with them, and get them drinking again.

You need to learn how to **** with them, and get them drinking again. too cruel Dj! But hilarious thought.

When the phone rings, I pick it up and on the other end it goes "We're sorry all our lines are busy, please hold and a company represnitive will be with you shortly" I'm like WTF.. You idots called me and then put me on hold grrrrrr

OK my pet peeve is now driving...it cancels out all my other pet peeves. I hate it! I passed my test like a month ago and have been driving ever since. I hate the road systems, I hate people on the roads...I hate that "whooaaaaa" moment you get when a huge lorry veers around a cyclist just before getting to bollards and is likr half an inch from wiping you out. I hate motorways and people who undertake. I hate "variable speed limits" and "average speed checks" making my paranoid. I ****ing HATE MULTI LANE ROUNDABOUTS. I hate A roads, I hate people's fast cars, I hate people's slow driving. I hate old people on the road and I hate making stupid decisions with my lack of confidence. I hate my stereo in the car, I hate how the ****ing windscreen gets all misty. I hate parking. You need to learn how to **** with them, and get them drinking again. Showing them this thread is a good start!

I had a good spell for a few years where I was the shouty one behind the wheel, but then I ultimately petered out on that ... mind you, I don't really drive on motorways much, and don't sit in commuter traffic, so that's probably the reason. That said, I still bark the odd unheard order at fellow motorists whose driving quite simply isn't on par with my sheer brilliance. I always have the stereo going, I make mix CDs, a new one every couple of months or so, it really helps the journeys along you know. Plus I can distract myself from my road grumpiness with some awesome tracks ... or indeed, when coming home in the middle of the night with no other cars on the road, get some spooky music going for a super cool effect.

trouble with my stereo is, it's too quiet, so have to bump it up loud to drown out the engine - then I get into a sticky situation and the first thing I do is turn it off because I can't concentrate properly, then I get annoyed at that and leave it off in case I get into more hairy places. And believe me, I don't like hairy places! Did I also mention that I have to park under trees near a park and now my ****ing car is covered in bird ****? Last time a bird shat on my car, I completely refused to take her out again!!

Last time a bird shat on my car, I completely refused to take her out again!! Ha! There's totally a niche porn site in that somewhere.

I think part of the problem is the age at which you are learning. Here in the states, driving being such an important part of our lifestyle, Most kids get their licences at 16, and learner's permits at 15. We learn early when it is yes, still scary, but more exciting than scary really. There might be some in very large urban areas that differ on this because of public transport, but MOST driver's in the U.S. learn very early. And believe me, I don't like hairy places! Surely there must be some that you like!!! Last time a bird shat on my car, I completely refused to take her out again!! Not a fan of the Cleveland Steamer eh?
